Unlike some other articles, the Denver Post has a well written article about board games.  The article talkes about how well game sales are, even in the current recession. They go into a little detail about The Settlers of Catan, and talk about how a good set of game rules is similar to a good book.

It’s always nice to see a positive post about tabletop gaming.  It’s also nice to see the hobby is alive and well outside of a few niche gamers. The article is written in such a way that doesn’t seem like it’d put off your average consumer, and in a way that doesn’t seem like it’d put hardcore gamers into a rage.
